Summary

Summary

This collection presents eleven of Dreiser’s best tales, ranging from trenchant social analysis to penetrating character study.

One of Dreiser’s most powerful stories, “N****r Jeff” was occasioned when Dreiser was forced to witness a lynching, an experience that disturbed him deeply.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Theodore Dreiser is a man who, with the passage of time, is bound to loom larger and larger in the awakening aesthetic consciousness of America. Among all of our prose writers he is one of the few men of whom it may be said that he has always been an honest workman, always impersonal, never a trickster. Read this book of Dreiser’s Free And Other Stories, and then compare it with a book of short stories, say by Bret Harte or O. Henry.” Sherwood Anderson (1876–1941)
“He is a great artist, and no other American of his generation left so wide and handsome a mark upon the national letters. American writing, before and after his time, differed almost as much as biology before and after Darwin. He was a man of large originality, of profound feeling, and of unshakable courage. All of us who write are better off because he lived, worked, and hoped.” H. L. Mencken

Author Bio: Theodore Dreiser

Theodore Dreiser (1871–1945), American novelist, became known as one of the principal exponents of American naturalism, and in 1944, he was awarded the Merit Medal for Fiction by the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He began his writing career as a newspaperman, working in Chicago, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh. With the publication of The Financier in 1912, he was able to give up newspaper work and devote himself to writing. In addition to novels, Dreiser, a socialist, wrote several nonfiction books on political issues. He was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, and attended Indiana University.
